Mask frame and cushion not included.
Headgear holds the mask at a consistent position and tension — and a stable position is what keeps a nasal mask sealing, since a mask that drifts creates leaks. The N20 uses SoftEdge™ headgear with rolled-edge fabric straps, chosen for long-wear comfort: the softer edges reduce the pressure lines and skin irritation that come with wearing a mask through the night.
Handily, this headgear fits both the AirFit N20 and the AirTouch N20. The two masks share the same frame and headgear — they differ only in the cushion (the AirFit uses a silicone cushion; the AirTouch uses a soft UltraSoft memory-foam cushion). So whichever N20 you have, this is the headgear.
Straps lose their elasticity with washing and daily wear. The usual sign it needs replacing isn't visible damage — it's tightening the straps more and more to hold the same seal. Fresh headgear restores the original fit at normal tension.

The N20 headgear comes in sizes (commonly Small, Standard, and Large). Match your current headgear size — the size is often printed on the strap. Note that the headgear size is separate from your cushion size, so they may differ. If you're unsure, contact us at (718) 735-3400 and we'll help.
Hand wash the headgear weekly in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry away from direct sunlight — detergent residue and heat both shorten strap life. Replace it roughly every 6 months, or sooner if the straps are stretched, frayed, or no longer hold their adjustment.
What's included? The headgear only — the mask frame and cushion are not included.
Which masks does it fit? Both the ResMed AirFit N20 and the AirTouch N20 nasal masks — they share the same headgear.
What's the difference between the AirFit N20 and AirTouch N20? They share the same frame and headgear; the difference is the cushion — the AirFit uses silicone, the AirTouch uses UltraSoft memory foam.
Which size do I need? Match your current headgear size (Small, Standard, or Large). It's separate from your cushion size.
How do I know it needs replacing? The usual sign is tightening the straps more and more to hold the same seal, or visible stretching or fraying.
Do I need a prescription? Headgear is not a sealing component and generally doesn't require a prescription. Contact us if you're unsure.
